参考解答
Ans:C;Case 1: if the market believes short-term interest rates will risk in the future, adding a liquidity premium to the resulting upward sloped yield will keep the upward sloping trend of the yield curve;Case 2: even if the market believes short-term interest rates will decline in the future, adding a liquidity premium to the resulting downward sloped yield curve can result in an upward sloping yield curve;Therefore, C is correct.
